Sauce Pizza and Wine opens its 13th location (not including Sky Harbor) at 11 a.m. today in Queen Creek and will donate 100% of the day’s proceeds to 2nd Chance Dog Rescue, which is in dire need of funds.
In addition, the first 50 customers today will receive a $10 Sauce gift card with their purchase.
The new location – the fast-casual chain’s largest at 3,000 square feet – is next to the Harkins theaters at Ellsworth Loop and Rittenhouse.
2nd Chance Dog Rescue, a Queen Creek non-profit dedicated to saving abandoned and abused dogs, is trying to relocate after being forced out of their space.
“When we learned that 2nd Chance Dog Rescue was seeking support, there was no question we would do what we could to help them,’’ says Scott Kilpatrick, CEO of Sauce Pizza & Wine.
‘‘We hope our donation will play a role in getting them into a new space so they can continue to be a safe haven for dogs in need.â€
Sauce is open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
